"After the concrete experimentalism from Bisk, the unique and introspective hip hop from The Multiphonic Ensemble, be sure to taste without any restrictions (no side effects detected) the electronic melodies from Mati:k (a.k.a. Masanobu Yanagida). You won't believe this guy is a 'newcomer'. Following the albums from Bisk and The Multiphonic Ensemble, Sub Rosa presents another Japanese sensation: Mati:k. For his first album Masanobu Yanagida chose to explore the world of electro oriented music with a very personal approach: crushed and distorted beats mixed with an accurate sense of melodies placed in an open field. Far from the usual Japanese hectic archetype, Mati:k is the perfect remedy to avoid the claustrophobic aspects of electro. Be ready to face a world full of contradictory sensations, constantly mutating -- yet constant in intensity and straight electronic orientation, as opposed to the usual 'human-machines don't think or feel' attitude. As a wishmaster, Mati:k will provide the necessary energy when you are down and the quietness you need to face stress. But don't expect him to show you the 'way' to follow. Listen and you will find the answers."
